Egyptian Motor Hotel BW Signature Collection - Phoenix, Arizona

We picked this place as being walkable to the downtown area and affordable. It was an easy uber from the airport. However we had to pay extra to check in, even though the rooms were available and housekeeping is only done on request. The room itself is cute but the flooring is terrible with holes and divots everywhere, the closet rack is broken, and it wasn’t well cleaned with hair in the water pitcher. There is no fan in the bathroom and only a tiny window to vent after a shower. Room quickly got muggy. I appreciated the mirror and area outside the bathroom given the limited counter space in the bathroom. Also appreciated having a table and chairs to eat with a large fridge but no freezer space. Each room is also given a huge speaker which means on the weekend our neighbors on both sides were blasting music all night and on Sunday night the bar, even though it wasn’t open also had music on super loud-but only provided one set of ear plugs. It looks like a fun party place in the summer with a great community patio area and bar with a pool but if you want a good nights sleep could probably stay elsewhere.

If you're in Phoenix for the night or a week, this location is the place to go! The rooms are so uniquely designed and decorated, ours had a full-size fridge and a small microwave, a cute round chair, the bathrooms were retro style. It's just a must try you won't regret it! The outside bar fire pits pools and setting area is like no other place I've seen!
THE INSIDE BARTENDER was friendly, social, and made the very best drinks! Trust him!

The rooms were very comfortable and niche decorating. I went for a Marijuana festival they had in the parking lot and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Also loved that they are aware of their location and how sound affects people differently and LOVED that they provided ear plugs. Sometimes it's the little things that matter most.

Rooms were great and love the vibe. We had trouble at check because key reader was not cooperating but they communicated everything and the service was amazing.

Great stay and thank you Murphy for the morning coffee and the water jug fill! You made the experience great in spite of tech issues! Give her a raise for keeping everyone satisfied while the issues happened.

*BUYER BEWARE*

This is the first bad review I have ever written, and what's motivated me to write it is that this was the worst hotel experience we've ever had.

First and foremost, we received over a dozen bed bug bites during and immediately after our stay here. When we contacted hotel management to report the problem, we were ignored. Finally, after much desperate hounding, the manager got back to us and told us that she looked in the room and "didn't see anything." Funny enough, that was our mistake too. We didn't see the bed bugs as they were noshing on arms and hands while we were sleeping.

The room itself was quite dirty. Upon first entering, it looked fine, but then we noticed the musty/mildewy smell, and then the rust colored stains on the bedding, and then the sticky floors that dirtied our socks, and then the dirty cups, and, as a bonus, some mysterious hair on the pillows. One or two of these things would not be a huge deal, but all together-- it does not inspire confidence.

I would love to save anyone the money, energy, and nightmare, and suggest that you stay somewhere else.

I picked this hotel because it was within walking distance to my sister's apartment and I got a good price online. The place really exceeded my expectations. I liked the use of bunk beds to make more living space (though the mattresses are pretty narrow), loved having a couch and coffee table, good coffee in the morning (and having to go to the restaurant to get it got me moving in the morning), and a big fridge (no freezer) and microwave. The last two weren't as useful as they could be since there were no utensils or plates, only two big plastic cups in the room (I borrowed a wine opener from the bar and got a plastic spoon from the restaurant). The outdoor space is really cool and inviting (though super quiet during my mid-week visit) but I'm sure is hopping on the weekend. Location was also great. Overall, loved the Egyptian Motor Hotel and highly recommend!

Great little place to stay near DTNPHX. The staff were awesome and very helpful, pointing us to some great dive bars nearby. Rooms were very cool & retro. We stayed in Jan, so the only amenity we used was the fire pit. Pool and outside bar looked nice, but they weren't being used due to the cool temps.

Pros:
Great location.
Amazing staff (would have given it 2 stars, but the staff saved this place).
Gives a cute hipster/retro like vibe.
Ice bucket was a mini cooler.
Food truck on site.
Full-sized Refrigerator.
Spacious.
No bed bugs.
No roaches.

Cons:
Not cleaned well at all - hair in the shower, hand prints and dirt marks on the bathroom walls, stains on the rug, trash next to the beds.
No freezer.
Everything is ran off extension boxes.
Lower bunk doesn't have any power hook ups even though it is set up to have power to it.
Door was not sealed on the floor(could see daylight through it).
No safety lock from the door to the wall.

We must have booked on an off weekend as there were no parties outside of our room. They do give a single pair of ear plugs to guests. Worth a shot to try because it looks so neat, but not really worth the money we paid in the end.
